Led Zeppelin's getting a pinball machine. Find out what songs are on the playlist and check out the trailer.

All three models will be slathered with Zep imagery and references, including a “custom-molded” toy of the Hindenburg. All three models have three steel ramps, a three-bank of drop targets, and three flippers throughout the field. They also all have a toy of the Swan Song Records Icarus, which will apparently leap about the machine whenever a ball hits it. The Pro model’s cabinet and backglass art are based on the cover to, while the Premium model’s art comes from the first album.

The higher-end models both come with extra goodies. Both the Premium and Limited Edition models come with an “Electric Magic” toy. Stern describes this trademarked device as “a unique motorized toy which rises from below the playfield to create different magical pinball experiences.” Depending on what mode is activated, this toy will capture balls, make them disappear, and both lock and launch them around the machine.

Those models also boast Stern’s Expression Lighting System, a fancy light show whose “96 intelligent RGB LED’s enable full color spectrum control.” Basically this will let the machine have a stadium-worthy light show that reacts to both the specific song that’s playing and also your own actions within the game.

The Limited Edition model also comes with a variety of unique visual flourishes—custom artwork and art blades, a mirrored backglass featuring the Icarus logo, “custom high gloss Paradise Shimmer Blue powder-coated armor”—along with an upgraded audio system. There are only 500 units of those being manufactured, and they’re kinda pricy, so if you’re a Zep superfan get ready to dig into your life savings.

The Pro model will set you back $6199. The Premium is going for $7799. And the Limited Edition costs $9199. Definitely high, but not as high as The Beatles machine from a few years back.
